Dotcom and Mega.com

https://mega.co.nz/#bloghttps://mega.co.nzKim Dotcom Reveals Mega's User Count
The just weeks-old website has crossed the three million registered user threshold.
Following a dramatic year of legal battles with the US over his
website "Megaupload," Kim Dotcom launched its replacement, "Mega," just
weeks ago. Amidst the buzz about the website's controversy as well as
its perks, Dotcom has managed to get his user base up to three million
in just several weeks. With the US still seeking his extradition for an
accused $500 million worth of losses in copyright infringement from
Megaupload, Dotcom has placed himself as a soldier for internet privacy
and freedom. "Mega is not just a company," he posted, "it's a belief.
It's a mission. It's a guardian angel of our rights, freedom, and
privacy."
Aside from points of principle, users are also signing up for the
massive storage space they get with a free membership. In fact, the
unpaid storage allowance is 50GB. By comparison, Dropbox offers 2GB with
a free membership. Users are also taking advantage of the apparent
security f the website, which allegedly uses military-grade encryption
to protect users' data. According to the official Mega Blog,
all of the security issues with the site are posted as they are
discovered, allowing for complete transparency. Users of Mega are
looking forward to the future as well. With a focus on privacy, the website is to be expanded
into the social media, email, and video chat markets among others. The
web millionaire is certainly proud of the rapid growth of Mega, but he
believes it is a reflection of what users want. "Mega's growing
popularity is confirmation," he tweeted this morning. "Privacy matters."
